CHAPTER 1 Django Extras documentation Project Status This is a fairly new project, while this package is utilised in production on several projects the status will remain as beta until unit-test coverage has been expanded. Documentation is now fairly complete, in general areas of the code base that have not been documented should be considered unstable. Getting help Report bugs with Django Extras with the issue tracker. What s in Django Extras Django Extras is a project that provides extensions for Django to solve common development situations not (or not yet) covered by the core Django framework. Examples of this include: additional decorators model mixins to easily assign owners to a model additional model and form fields greatly expanded collection of default response classes See API Reference full reference. 1

First steps If you are new to Django it is recommended you visit the Django documentation as they have excellent documentation to get you up and running. Other batteries included Authentication Source code Full source code is available on Git Hub. Have migrated away from BitBucket for Travis CI support. 2 Chapter 1. Django Extras documentation

CHAPTER 2 API Reference django_extras.contrib.auth See User authentication extensions. Forms Form API reference. Form field reference Field types ColorField class ColorField([allow_alpha=False, max_length=40, **options]) A CharField that checks that the value is a valid CSS color value. allow_alpha controls if colors can support alpha values. Specifies that the default widget is the JQueryColorPicker. JsonField class JsonField([dump_options={ cls : DjangoJSONEncoder}, load_options={}, **options]) A TextField that handles serialisation/deserialization of JSON structures for display in a Text input. 3

Form widget reference Widget types HTML5 Input types Html5EmailInput class Html5EmailInput HTML 5 email input. Html5NumberInput class Html5NumberInput HTML 5 number input. Html5DateInput class Html5DateInput HTML 5 date input. Html5DateTimeInput class Html5DateTimeInput HTML 5 datetime input. Html5TimeInput class Html5TimeInput HTML 5 time input. JQuery enhanced widgets JQueryColorPicker class JQueryColorPicker Widget that displays a color picker. This widget assumes jquery has been included on the page. JavaScript and CSS is included and is defined using Django media definitions. Middleware Timing Middleware class TimingMiddleware Adds a header to all responses with the total time spent generating a response. This middleware component should be added as early as possible in the list of middleware classes to get best results. 4 Chapter 2. API Reference

The name of the header returned to the browser is X-PROCESSING_TIME_MS, time is in milliseconds. Models Model API reference. Model field reference Note: All fields registered with south (if used by your project). Field types ColorField class ColorField([allow_alpha=False, max_length=40, **options]) A CharField that checks that the value is a valid CSS color value. allow_alpha controls if colors can support alpha values. MoneyField class MoneyField([max_digits=40, decimal_places=4, **options]) A DecimalField that sets up sensible defaults for monetary values, in addition the MoneyField will return values as instances of the Money type. The Money type is based on Pythons decimal object. Note: The current implementation does not store the currency code with the money value. PercentField class PercentField(**options) A FloatField that represents a percentage value. Validates provided value to ensure it is within the range 0 to 100. LatitudeField class LatitudeField(**options) A FloatField that represents a latitude. Validates provided value to ensure it is within the range -90.0 to 90.0 LongitudeField class LongitudeField(**options) A FloatField that represents a longitude. Values are validated to be within the range -180.0 to 180.0. 2.4. Models 5

JsonField class JsonField([dump_options={ cls : DjangoJSONEncoder}, load_options={}, **options]) A TextField that handles serialisation/deserialization of JSON structures into a database field. Response objects HttpResponse subclasses Django extras includes a number of additional HttpResponse subclasses that handle different types of HTTP responses. These subclasses are defined in django_extras.http. Common HTTP response types Common response codes, most of these codes are defined in the W3C Protocol specification. This collection also includes status codes that are defined for Web DAV. This list does not include response types that are already defined in Django. Successful 2xx responses class HttpResponseCreated Status code 201 class HttpResponseAccepted Status code 202 class HttpResponseNonAuthoritative Status code 203 class HttpResponseNoContent Status code 204 class HttpResponseResetContent Status code 205 class HttpResponsePartialContent Status code 206 Redirection 3xx responses All responses within the 3xx class inherit from HttpResponseRedirect. class HttpResponseSeeOther Status code 303 Client Error 4xx responses class HttpResponseUnAuthorised Status code 401 6 Chapter 2. API Reference

class HttpResponsePaymentRequired Status code 402 class HttpResponseNotAcceptable Status code 406 class HttpResponseRequestTimeout Status code 408 class HttpResponseConflict Status code 409 class HttpResponseLengthRequired Status code 411 class HttpResponsePreconditionFailed Status code 412 class HttpResponseRequestEntityTooLarge Status code 413 class HttpResponseUnsupportedMediaType Status code 415 class HttpResponseExpectationFailed Status code 417 class HttpResponseUnprocessableEntity Status code 422 class HttpResponseLocked Status code 423 class HttpResponseFailedDependency Status code 424 class HttpResponseUpgradeRequired Status code 426 Server Error 5xx responses class HttpResponseNotImplemented Status code 501 class HttpResponseBadGateway Status code 502 class HttpResponseServiceUnavailable Status code 503 class HttpResponseGatewayTimeout Status code 504 class HttpResponseInsufficientStorage status_code = 507 Enhanced response types class FileResponse The constructor accepts the same content property as the default :class:httpresponse class except it is 2.5. Response objects 7

interpreted as a file name or file handle and content_type. The response object facilitates streaming the content of the file to the client. There is an optional parameter include_last_modified which defaults to True that supplies the last modified date of the specified file as an HTTP header. class JsonResponse Acts just like :class:httpresponse except will encode the first parameter to JSON (using :class:djangojsonencoder) and changes the default content_type to application/json. Validators Additional validators The django_extras.core.validators module contains a collection of callable validators for use with model and form fields. They re used internally but are available for use with your own fields, too. They can be used in addition to, or in lieu of custom field.clean() methods. validate_color validate_color A RegexValidator instance that ensures a value looks like a CSS color value. validate_alpha_color validate_alpha_color A RegexValidator instance that ensures a value looks like a CSS color value. Supports color definitions with alpha blending. validate_json validate_json A JsonValidator instance that ensures a value is valid JSON. 8 Chapter 2. API Reference

CHAPTER 3 User authentication extensions While Django comes with a built in user authentication system it leaves a couple of common use-cases incomplete. Django Extras fills in the missing pieces. Installation No installation is required, this extension does not require additional database models. Convenience decorators The staff_required decorator staff_required([include_superusers=true, login_url=none, raise_exception=false]) This decorator provides a simple way of restricting access to a particular view to users who have the is_staff flag set. Rather than using the ~django.contrib.auth.decorators.user_passes_test() decorator restricting a view to staff can be written as: from django_extras.contrib.auth.decorators import staff_required @staff_required def my_view(request):... By default this decorator also includes users with the is_superuser flag set, these users can be excluded with the optional include_superuser parameter. Example: from django_extras.contrib.auth.decorators import staff_required @staff_required(include_superusers=false) def my_view(request):... 9

As in the login_required(), login_url defaults to settings.login_url. Mirroring the change in Django 1.4 this decorator also accepts the raise_exception parameter. If given, the decorator will raise PermissionDenied. The superuser_required decorator superuser_required([login_url=none, raise_exception=false]) This decorator provides a simple way of restricting access to a particular view to users who have the is_superuser flag set. Rather than using the ~django.contrib.auth.decorators.user_passes_test() decorator restricting a view to super users can be written as: from django_extras.contrib.auth.decorators import superuser_required @superuser_required def my_view(request):... As in the login_required(), login_url defaults to settings.login_url. Mirroring the change in Django 1.4 this decorator also accepts the raise_exception parameter. If given, the decorator will raise PermissionDenied. Ownership Mixin Models Two mixin classes are provided that provide a consistent API for assigning ownership of a model instance to a user. Example: class MyModel(SingleOwnerMixin, models.model): name = models.charfield(max_length=50) Many methods include include_staff and include_superuser parameters, these are used to treat staff and superuser users as if they are owners of the instance. Both SingleOwnerMixin and MultipleOwnerMixin provide the following methods. class OwnerMixinBase OwnerMixinBase.owned_by(user[, include_staff=false, include_superuser=false]) Returns a boolean value to indicate if the supplied user is a valid owner of a model instance. OwnerMixinBase.owner_list() Returns a list of User models that are owners of the model instance. A list is returned by both single and multiple versions of the mixin. SingleOwnerMixin class SingleOwnerMixin This class provides a simple way to assign ownership of a model instance to a single user. owner User object as provided by a ForeignKey model field. Note: By default the related_name parameter is set to: '%(app_label)s_%(class)s_owner' 10 Chapter 3. User authentication extensions

MultipleOwnerMixin class MultipleOwnerMixin This class provides a simple way to assign ownership of a model instance to multiple users. owners RelatedManager object as provided by a ManyToManyField model field. Note: By default the related_name parameter is set to: '%(app_label)s_%(class)s_owners' OwnerMixinManager class OwnerMixinManager Manager class used by SingleOwnerMixin and MultipleOwnerMixin to obtain the instances of a model that has ownership assigned to a particular user. Fetching owned instances OwnerMixinManager.owned_by(user[, include_staff=false, include_superuser=false]) Returns a QuerySet filtered by a user or users. The user parameter can be either a single User object or primary key, a sequence of User objects or primary keys. Example: # Single user >>> MyModel.objects.owned_by(request.user) [<MyModel: Foo>, <MyModel: Bar>] # Multiple primary keys >>> MyModel.objects.owned_by([1, 2, 3]) [<MyModel: Foo>, <MyModel: Bar>, <MyModel: Eek>] Note: It is not possible to use the include_staff and include_superuser parameters when passing a sequence for the user parameter. A TypeError exception will be raised in this case. Shortcuts get_owned_object_or_40x([klass, owner, include_staff=false, include_superuser=false, *args, **kwargs]) A convenience method that mirrors the Django shortcut get_object_or_404. If the object cannot be loaded a Http404 exception is raised, if a user cannot be verified as an owner a PermissionDenied exception is raised. As with the other extensions include_staff and include_superuser flags are provided. *args and **kwargs work in the same way as get_object_or_404. 3.4. Shortcuts 11
